Services We Offer

Helpful Staff: Figaro’s Garden is run by Hartley Rosen and Anne-Marie Whittaker (co-owners) with Faerlyn Bush (shop manager) along with Katherine O’Block, Katrina Sterba, Rummen Braich, and Conor Preston. Most of us have been through the Master Gardener program or have studied horticulture extensively. We pride ourselves in offering our customers a level of personal service that they will not find at other garden centres. We know a great many of our customers as friends on a first-name basis, so we assume we are doing something right.

Wish list: We understand that avid gardeners have specific rare plants that they desire. We maintain a customer wish list and actively try to source desired plants for our clientele. There is of course no guarantee that we can find a grower who has what you're seeking but we'll try our best.

Gardening or plant care advice: We do not promise to be able to answer every question, but we do promise to try. In the summer we have Master Gardener volunteers on hand most weekends to answer all your gardening questions. Please ask for a schedule.

Delivery: Within the Vancouver area. Price depends on size and distance from the shop. Ask for details.

Product selection: We will help you find the perfect item for your needs, whether you are looking for a fertilizer, a fountain, a ficus, or whatever.

Clinics and classes: Whether it be a mobile blade sharpening service at Figaro's Garden or a class on how to design hanging baskets, we aim to offer a variety of experiences and services that will serve your needs.
